(I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. But then, if it isn't, it won't be approved anyway.) I made this thing that gives you a collage of your lj interests: http://treap.net/gavri/lji61.html

http://treap.net/gavri/lji61.html

Update: Warning: Images could offend you.
Update: Had to take down. Mail from the Yahoo Developer Network that the tool was straining their servers.
Update: Uploaded the code: http://treap.net/gavri/lji61.html

	Nice! Are you caching the image URLs? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	There's no server-side code and I intend to keep it that way. (Actually there's some php code, but it's just a proxy to over-come the cross-domain xmlhttprequest restriction in the browser.) Also, it's likely that your friends-icons collage meme inspired this. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Haha, I love it. My favorite part is when some of my more obscure interests show up. XD (Reply to this)

	LOL, same for me! :-) I ctrl+clicked a few away, but some seemed to return when I posted the HTML. Oh well... (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	What a great (aka "nifty") tool!! Thanks!! (Reply to this)

	That's great! I like the fact you can click through a variety of pics too. Really clever! :D (Reply to this)

	I guess I should have known better, but teh Internets being what they are, testing this out at work is not a very good idea. Yikes. We'll see if the men in black come to take me away. :-p (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	Re: NSFW! ga_woo 2006-08-21 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	The resources accessed were yahoo's thumbnails, not the actual NSFW pictures. The MIB have no way of knowing one yahoo thumnail from another. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hey, you've got the same picture for Kubrick as I did :) (Reply to this)

	paranoidandroid 2006-08-21 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	Much coolness... What would be great is if each image had the "alt" attribute set to the interest it was showing - as some of the interests are not apparent from the picture! :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	whatifoundthere 2006-08-21 04:56 pm UTC (link)
	I'd like this feature too. Sometimes I found a picture that I really liked even though it didn't illustrate what I was thinking about when I wrote the interest :) Great toy! Thanks! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dbaxdevilsfan 2006-08-21 03:09 pm UTC (link)
	Ok, I have 1 problem with this. I found pix I was happy with, and clicked "I'm happy with these pictures", but then after I posted it, pictures changed to ones I'm not happy with. Is it supposed to do that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Definitely not. What's the browser you're using? And operating system? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	How about an alt tag so when we mouse over an image, it'll tell us the interest. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	psiphiorg 2006-08-21 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	Actually, that should be a "title" attribute, not "alt", as "alt" only shows up if the image doesn't load, whereas "title" shows up all the time. At least in Firefox, that is... maybe other browsers show "alt" even when the image does load. davidh (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Having spent ten minutes trying to figure out how to turn the collage into postable code ::hangs head in shame::, I would like to chime in to say that this is heck of awesome. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It doesn't seem to work in Opera.. any ideas? I only get one interest picture, of a train? Very cool regardless! May have to jump on another computer when I get a chance, to use IE or Firefox.. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Did you use rich-text mode or plain-text mode? I don't think it will work if you post it using rich-text mode. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)
